A charming English glazed majolica porcelain Staffordshire covered cheese dish in the shape of a cow's head. The dish is triangular, accommodating a cheese wedge, with rounded corners and raised lip so the lid fits securely. The stunning cover depicts a large bull's head with a rope shaped handle. This style of cheese dish became popular in Victorian England in the 19th century. This appears to be a 20th century example. In very good vintage condition. A stunning centerpiece and certain to be a topic of conversation at your dinner party!
8"high x 9.5"wide x 10.25"deep
From the collection of a Boulder, Colorado interior designer who collected many antique pieces from France.
No apparent marks. Light surface crazing is apparent. No visible breaks or repairs.
